I am obsessed about lighting. One of the things that drives me crazy is bad lighting and eating in some of the great little pasta places in Rome where lighting is totally not important. So we started with the rooms and then went to the corridors which are lined with beautiful custom wallpaper by Isabelle and Rubel Toledo, Paul Tazwell and William Ivey Long. Isabelle's dream was to design a Broadway show. Well, thank you for bringing her to that. My pleasure.
